Your all about doing this on the cheap, your not gonna beat the cost on doing an ebay cooler unless you get someone to give you dmax stuff.

well after reading whippled's thread on the intercooler looks like I"ll go the cheaper ebay route. I just figured the dmax cooler would be better, wrong again.

thanks guys for all the help. Look to start gather everything over the next couple months so when i actually start i'll post up the build pics.

idk why no one thinks this guy can do a turbo build for under 3K??? i think i had right around 3k in my turbo build. And i didnt cut corners and everything was done right. Here is a link to the build

My turbo build- Special shout out to EmmerichLSX

To the OP.. good luck with the build man and it CAN be done on a budget lol

ugh, back to the old drawing board. Thinking about changing my mind to a blower now. Looking more into it, its probably better for towing not to mention I wont have time to **** around with a design/build turbo system. Thinking of the Radix 1900, any suggestions? I've done my turbo research but not my blower research.

A Tvs 1900 would work well.

Again, forget about your $3000 budget, but since you're already an expert, It should go together pretty easily!
